Trivia: What candies did the New England Confectionery Company make?
PEZ
Twizzlers
Necco Wafers
Saltwater taffy
Correct Answer: Necco Wafers
So why is this answer correct? : It’s almost an acrostic poem — the first letters of the New England Confectionery Company, spell its signature product, Necco Wafers. The treat was first invented in 1847, but it didn’t receive its name until 1901 with the formation of the New England Confectionery Company. Today, Necco Wafers’s eight flavors are owned and produced by Spangler Candy.
